They are beautiful!!! I chose soapstone, also, but I went for Imperial Danby (in a two inch slab) on my island. I'm curious - what finish is on your soapstone? It looks so shiny compared to mine. I have used a soapstone conditioner on mine that I read about on For The Love of a House.

I have really enjoyed watching your renovation. You have a great eye and I look forward to seeing how things progress! Susan

Hi D! It is gorgeous, absolutely gorgeous!! In fact I don't think it could be any more perfect than this!! So happy you finally got your beloved soapstone, I remember discussing this with you on a few phone conversations at the old house. It is all going to breahtaking. So happy for you,xo Kathysue

Oh Delores....How much fun to see these updated photos. I stood in that kitchen just a month ago and can't believe how it looks now. It is such a sunny wonderful room. I have to come back to see the final kitchen and have a glass (or two) of wine by the windows. You are doing good...keep going!!! Bonnie

When we built our last house I asked for soapstone, but the builder was clueless and we were buying in a subdivision with only "so many" choices. I got black granite, but it was not what I wanted. Someday. I think it's beautiful!

They are gorgeous Delores and you will l.o.v.e. living with them! Don't know if you saw my post on soapstone, but I use a natural wax sealer instead of mineral oil which is petroleum based... http://fortheloveofahouse.blogspot.com/2014/03/soapstone.htmlxxojoan
